The process
How Selling Your House to Us Works
Six steps, no surprises, and you can stop at any point.
The short answer
Send us the address, we research comps and view the house, and you get a written cash offer within 24 hours. Accept it and we close at a local Houston title company on a date you choose, usually 7 to 21 days later.
-
1
Send Us the Address
Fill in the form or call. We need the address and a rough idea of the condition. This takes about two minutes and costs nothing.
-
2
We Research the Property
We pull recent comparable sales near you, check county records for liens or tax issues, and work out what the house is worth once it is repaired.
-
3
We Look at the House
Usually in person, sometimes from photos and a video walkthrough. There is no inspection to pass and nothing to tidy up first.
-
4
You Get a Written Offer
Within 24 hours, in writing, with the comparable sales it is based on. Ask us anything about how we got to the number.
-
5
You Pick the Closing Date
If you accept, we open title at a local Houston title company. You choose the date, whether that is next week or three months out.
-
6
You Get Paid
You sign at the title company and the funds are wired or handed to you. Any mortgage balance or back taxes are paid from the proceeds first.
No mystery math
How We Calculate Your Offer
Our offer is the after-repair value of your house, minus what it costs us to repair and resell it. That is the whole formula, and we will show you the comparable sales we based it on.
- Start with After-repair value What the house sells for once it is fixed up, based on recent comparable sales nearby.
- Subtract Our repair budget Roof, foundation, HVAC, cosmetics, whatever the house actually needs.
- Subtract Resale and holding costs Agent commission when we resell, taxes, insurance and utilities while we hold it.
- Equals Your cash offer No fees deducted afterwards. The number we agree on is the number on your settlement statement.
The Honest Trade-Off
A cash offer is below what you would get listing on the open market and waiting for a retail buyer. What you get instead is speed, a closing date you choose, no repairs, no showings, no commission, and no financing that can fall through a week before closing. If you have the time and the house is in good shape, listing with an agent will usually net you more, and we will tell you that.

Sell My House Fast Houston made the process simple when I needed to sell my house quickly. The property needed some repairs, and I didn’t want to deal with listing it, showings, or paying realtor commissions. They explained everything clearly, gave me a fair offer, and worked around my timeline. The whole process was straightforward from beginning to closing, and I’d recommend them to anyone in Houston looking for an easier way to sell their house.

Questions
Common Questions
Do I Have to Clean the House or Move Everything Out?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest, including furniture, appliances and anything in the attic or garage. We clear the property after closing. Sellers dealing with an inherited house or a long-term rental find this is the part that saves them the most time.
What If My House Has a Lien or Unpaid Property Taxes?
It is still sellable. The title company identifies every lien during the title search and pays them from the sale proceeds at closing. Delinquent Harris County taxes, contractor liens and HOA balances all get settled this way, and you receive the remainder.
Where the Process Gets Complicated
The three steps above describe a straightforward sale. Plenty are not, and the awkward parts are worth reading about before you start rather than during a contract. The commonest are a house going through probate, where the court sets the pace, unpaid property tax, which is settled from the proceeds rather than up front, and an open insurance claim, where who keeps the money has to be written into the contract.
Beyond that, the full guide works the arithmetic through line by line, the resources directory lists the offices that hold the records you will need, and every area we buy in has its own page with the local market figures.
